- Acorn reckon they had a M2 compiler for their own internal use in the
- early days, but they have no intentions of releasing it to us (I mean, the
- Arc's so good, it doesn't really NEED a nice lovely structured language
- like M2/3, does it? Acorn would rather we hack around in C)

- when it's anybody's fault!)
